Okay, so my boyfriend has an intestinal issue...?!
Question: Okay, so my boyfriend has an intestinal issue....?
About once a week he gets painful (explosive!) diarrhea and sometimes he bleeds a little. It's fairly unpredictable but may be related to a Mt. Dew intolerance - that usually sets it off. I realize this is rather serious but he refuses to believe it. Besides laying off pop, is there something he can do to settle his intestines.? And how can I talk him into seeing a doctor for this.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
If he isn't seeing a doctor then he is a total idiot. I don't believe in running to the doctor for every little thing, but when it is as frequent as you're saying, he needs to get some medical evaluation and advice. This could be something that, if not caught in time, could be life threatening. If all else fails, make an appointment for him, tie him up while he's asleep, then get a friend to help you drag him in. I'm not joking, I'm dead serious.Health Question & Answer
